You are called to a kindergarten class where a boy has fallen while climbing on playground equipment. The teacher saw him fall and hit his stomach on a step. He is sobbing and holding his abdomen. As you assess him, you find his skin cool and clammy, his pulse is 132, respiratory is 28. Why is the boy acting this way? Select one: a. He possibly has wet his pants and does not want anyone to know.
b. He is really upset and wants his mother.
c. He is embarrassed and is afraid that the other students will make fun of him.
d. He possibly has internal injuries and is in shock.

D.

Explanation:

He possibly has internal injuries and is in shock. If something happens so suddenly you could go in shock. Its like one moment the boy was climbing on a playground equipment and then other moment he fell down and hurt himself really hard. When such things happen, it is very hard to process what is going on. His mind is trying to process what just happened to him and by the time his brain is able to come to a conclusion, the boy has already started crying. I can even tell this from a personal experience.
